I just realized it has been a long time since I wrote a post. In case you haven't been following my narrative here, this blog was originally intended to document a few month stay in Beijing. But, as you can see from the archive on the side of the page, its grown a bit. Now, after over two years, Veronica and I are leaving Beijing, heading back to the US.

When I have some additional downtime, I plan to share a lot of additional picture and leave this site up as a scrapbook of experiences, advice and bad jokes.

So before I do that, I want to share one of the best examples of Chinglish I've seen. This one falls into the category of "mistranscribed letters".

Needless to say, that alone would have been pretty awesome. However, the creator of this shirt made it even better and have given the world the following, behold:"Sweet Cali - Cumballs, Juicy Flavorsh - Whoau"

I imagine the "Juicy Flavorsh" line spoken with a minor speech impediment and the "whoau" exclaimed like Joey Lawrence on Blossem.
